Ambassador pods displaying log level info DESPITE setting AES_LOG_LEVEL to error and envoy_log_path to null

[muhanator]

I am trying to set the log level of my Ambassador deployment to error.

1. I first tried setting the environment variable AES_LOG_LEVEL to error as specified in the documentation (https://www.getambassador.io/docs/edge-stack/latest/topics/running/aes-extensions/#aes_log_level) but the logs still remained of log level info.

env:
  AES_LOG_LEVEL: error
  AMBASSADOR_CERTS_SINGLE_NAMESPACE:

I even went inside the pod to make sure that environment variable AES_LOG_LEVEL was set to error and it was.

2. So then I believed I had to change the Envoy debug logs and so by following (https://www.getambassador.io/docs/edge-stack/latest/topics/running/ambassador/#envoy), I set "envoy_log_path: /dev/null" for my module. Yet, my logs still display logs of level info.

service:
  externalTrafficPolicy: 'Local'
  annotations:
    service.beta.kubernetes.io/azure-load-balancer-internal: 'true'
    getambassador.io/config: |
      ---
      apiVersion: ambassador/v1
      kind: Module
      name: ambassador
      config:
        service_port: 8443
        use_remote_address: true
        buffer:  
          max_request_bytes: 10485760
        x_num_trusted_hops: 1
        x_forwarded_proto_redirect: true
        grpc_stats:
          upstream_stats: true
          all_methods: true
        envoy_log_path: /dev/null
    external-dns.alpha.kubernetes.io/hostname: '${serviceVariable.ambassador_domain}'

Despite both of these changes, my logs appear as so:

I believe I did everything specified from the documentation, can you please help me change the logs to level error.
